Kiss Of The Spider Woman
Valentin Arregui Paz and Luis Molina are unlikely cell mates in a prison. Valentin, a journalist, is a political prisoner, working for a leftist anti-government revolutionary group. While in prison, he is frequently tortured in order to cough up information on those with whom he is working, in which he refuses. Molina, a homosexual window dresser, is imprisoned on moral charges: "Corrupting a Minor." To pass the time, Molina recounts movies with his favorite actress, Aurora. Molina and Valentin escape into the stories of Aurora, and the unlikely cell mates form an equally unlikely friendship. What Valentin does not know is that Molina has been co-opted by the prison warden and the secret police to befriend Valentin so that he can get information on and report back to them about the leftist group with which Valentin is working. Molina's reward is early parole. The question becomes, whose side is Molina really supporting?
Kiss of the Spider Woman won the Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score when it debuted on Broadway, as well as a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical. A harrowing tale of torture and political oppression, this musical nonetheless embraces hope and the beauty of love.
